What was the first year that women were allowed to compete in the Olympics?

396 BC Cynisca of Sparta was permitted to enter her horses in the Olympics. Back then it was the owner of the horses not the riders that were awarded with victory in the Olympics.

What do elephant ears compete with?

Elephant ears are very competitive by nature, so they will basicaly compete with anything that passes by. This includes, but is not limited to, flies, bees, hornets (if the ears are feeling lucky), moths and if the ears happen to be awake late at night, they could possibly even try to compete with bats or owls. If by chance the elephant has wandered onto the plains, then it may also be possible that they will compete with small gazelle and even buffalo.
